Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are reportedly facing competition in their quest to sign Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.

According to Bladi.net, Tottenham and Arsenal are keen on the 21-year-old full-back.

The youngster, who can also operate as a winger, has yet to make a huge impact on the Madrid first team.

One suspects that the Spanish and European giants will be open to sending Hakimi out on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.

However, bitter North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal are reportedly facing competition for the Morocco international – who set a new record in October by clocking a top speed of 22.49mph, becoming the fastest player in Bundesliga history.

AS has reported that Borussia Dortmund want to keep Hakimi – who has operate as a right-back, right-winger, left-back and left-winger this campaign – on loan next season as well.
